“I had a really good experience at Palm n Patties on Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, and I want to recognize two employees in particular: Adham and Sebastian.

Adham was the main reason my experience went so well. He went above and beyond to help me, took the time to understand the issue, and made sure everything was fully resolved. He was patient, professional, and genuinely cared about getting things right. Honestly, I would come back again because of his service alone.

Sebastian was also very friendly and helpful, and I appreciate his support as well. He contributed to a positive experience and made sure things were handled smoothly.

Overall, great customer service, with Adham truly standing out.“

“So very yummy!! Great service and happy hour“

“Very great convenient location, definitely not a place you pop in for a quick meal.. plan to spend a couple of hours if not the whole day here if you go. Seems our waiter was a little busy with larger groups and forgot about us. But he was very friendly and luckily we had no where to hurry off to. Burger was okay, chicken was dry. I appreciated the scenery and vibes though.“

“*A Local Brentwood/West LA Must Try!!!\nI recently had lunch at Barney's Gourmet Burgers in Brentwood for the first time. It's important to note that this is not to be confused with Barney's Beanery. The burger of the month was the Santa Fe, which came highly recommended by my friend. It featured caramelized onions and jalapeños, offering a slight kick, but the real highlight was the incredibly juicy patty and the generous portion of meat. I also thoroughly enjoyed the skinny fries.\nOur server, Kira, was fast, efficient, and super friendly—Thank You, KIRA! (Sometimes people forget that it's more about the food but the service definitely is part of the experience.)\nThe restaurant has a cozy, café-like atmosphere, and the service was excellent—quick and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Wednesday price for the burger (burger of the month) was just $12, a significant reduction from the usual $18.95. While some may have complained about the regular price (online), I believe the quality and size of the burger fully justify the cost, and I would gladly pay it.\n\nLiving just a mile away, I’ll definitely be returning. Sometimes you stumble upon hidden gems in your neighborhood, and this is one of them. A special thanks to my friend, an Uber delivery driver, who introduced me to this spot. Barney’s Gourmet Burgers truly deserves its reputation, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great burger experience.“

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“This was my first time trying the Father’s Office, and honestly the food was pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like was, you cannot modify anything on the menu, even if it’s for a food allergy. However overall the place was decent.“

“I recommend the Bbq chicken, Rack of Ribs and Brisket overall everything I ordered was delicious.“

“Amazing chicken. Simply delicious.“

“I love it here because it’s old fashion great table service because management excels in traffic patterns with cross trained wait staff and bidders. No server leaves the kitchen empty handed and the vibe is to make their customers happy with continuous even flow table service. Disney please take note! I am not of of millennial restaurants where stand at a cash register and pay the tip upfront then assigned a number & number holder then fend & elbow for a table. This is old school service upgraded with innovative traffic management to expedite cuisines & cocktails. I love the intimacy of the raised railroad car booths where I can actually hear my guest’s conversation and speak to wait staff at eye level. And the bathrooms are so modern and spotless! The observation window to see the cooking staff hard at work is as much fun as a cooking show! Chocolate chip cookies are warm but melt in your mouth!

“Consistently good food and friendly service. My husband and I have never been disappointed with anything we've had from their menu! Super delicious!!!“

“Hi I love this cafe - the food is healthy, tasty and wide-ranging in cuisines, and the people, Mimi and Justin, make it feel like another home. Mimi is a warm, consummate professional who can handle anything, events-wise, and the space is versatile for any kind of casual and convivial gathering. This place is one of my favorite “third spaces” for working when I need a change of environment from the home office (there are tables that overlook the pool), painting (I’m a huge fan of the paint and sip classes) or just hanging out. Neighbors can consider it a great resource for meals and snacks off the beach (and anytime), entertaining for occasions and even just to grab a bottle of wine or party-food supplies for friends who drop by. Highly recommend“

“The Big Dean's burger was fantastic. Highly recommend!!!!“

“A+ service Spacious outdoor seating TVs everywhere“

“Excelente lugar, excelente servicio, todo muy Rico ❤️ muy recomendado.“

“Great service and welcoming environment. ample parking and seating both indoors and out. amazing selection of both beers and ciders on tap. my only major issue is the removal of the tip system to a forced service charge (mandatory tip) system of 18%. we ordered a single flight and a pint at the bar ourselves, no table service or any real interaction yet a tip was fourced upon us on the bill.“

“Tucked away in the heart of a condo community, The Cafe at the Shores is a true hidden gem! It's a little adventure finding it, but the reward is well worth the effort. Owner Mimi has created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the views of the breach, tennis courts, and sky are simply stunning. The food is delicious, made with love and fresh ingredients, and they offer a great selection of wines. We even enjoyed a fun paint-and-sip lunch there! It's the perfect spot for any occasion, from a casual bite to a special celebration. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with fantastic food and a view to die for, be sure to find The Cafe at the Shores. Tell Mimi we sent you! You won't be disappointed.“
